CETCO services

Throughout its 40 year history, the Analytical Services Group of Specialty Minerals Inc. (ASG) has provided analytical and investigative services to SMI, Minteq and the Pyrogenics Research, Sales, Marketing, and Quality Assurance departments. The Group functions as both a service organization and a research facility engaged in developing new and improved analytical methods.

SMI is finding new and innovative ways to better utilize the energy and raw materials used to make engineered mineral products, and further integrate the satellite concept with a host mill to address important environmental issues. NewYield Process Technology leads the industry in that concept. NewYield converts a problematic pulp mill waste stream into a functional pigment for filling paper. A sustainable feature of NewYield is the technology eliminates the cost of environmental disposal and remediation of certain waste streams to papermakers. There are critical waste streams produced at paper and pulp mills, which often are dealt with by sending the material to land fill or installing capital and energy intensive processes. NewYield Process Technology cost-effectively converts these wastes into qualified functional pigment for paper making.

ENVIROFIL PCC is a new, innovative recycling technology that allows papermakers to recover mineral pigments from deinking residue by converting these raw materials to ENVIROFIL PCC. The ENVIROFIL process has the ability to substantially improve waste paper yield, mitigate solid waste disposal costs and reduce the environmental impact of the deinking process. The process addresses important sustainability challenges that paper mill customers face. Currently up to as much 50,000 tons of recovered pigments can be used in a SMI PCC Satellite plant producing ENVIROFIL PCC in place of standard PCC.
